Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Brandon Jones

Any chance he makes it to the majors before August 1?

Granted, he hasn't exactly been tearing the cover off the ball so far this year, but he has posted a line of .291/.354/.520 in AA Mississippi so far this year.  He's always been labelled as a "toolsy" guy, and he started actually putting together the tools with production last year.

Though not anywhere near as hyped, his situation seems eerily similar to Frenchy's in 2005.  He's in a Braves organization that is not afraid to push prospects to fill needs in the bigs, and LF is a gaping hole in the Braves OF right now.  He's been producing at a decent clip, and the opportunity is there.  The only difference I can see is that Atlanta has a good trading chip available this time in Salty who could return a really good LF (Griffey would be a good fit, assuming Cincy picks up a large chunk of his salary).  

What does everyone think Jones' chances of "pulling a Frenchy" are?

slim unless Andruw Jones is traded
the platoon in left is pretty solid this year with a mix of speed and hitting.  Right is obviously established but Andruw really sucks and is going to lose a lot of money, and I would love to trade him.

Griffey really good?
At this point in their careers, I'd rather have Brandon Jones than Griffy.

When I made that comment on Griffey
I was referring to the fact he would help the Braves win in 2007 and 2008.  He's actually having a very good year so far this year.

Well
Matt Diaz is hitting 350 right now.  Granted thats over his head (whose head wouldnt that be over) but hes a solid hitter for his career.  Andruws actually been our worst OF.  A trade for outfield help would be a waste

We dont need more bats, we need pitching.
